I used to like Whole Foods but stopped shoping there a couple of years ago. I can find almost everything I need at regular grocery stores now, thank goodness. I save a lot of money that way.

Do you and your spouse always agree on what to watch or do you differ in the types of things you like to watch? My spouse loves to watch documentaries especially really old history regarding wars and other stuff. He could watch them all day if given the chance. I get bored watching shows like that and I'd rather not spend a whole sat or sun afternoon watching t.v., let alone documentaries. Anyone else ever go through this?

I've used Netflix for a couple of years now. I like it. I usually order movies that I can't find here locally since I live in a small town and the movie gallery doesn't have a lot of things I want to see from years ago. Plus, for the monthly price I can rent a lot, a lot cheaper within a month than I would if I rented from movie gallery for a month. I pay one price and rent all I want. Great deal! I was just on their site yesterday and noticed they have a couple of movies that you can watch right then by downloading, but they are very old movies and saw a couple of documentaries, not interesting ones at all (to me anyway). I can't wait until they offer some children's movies that we can watch right there on the website.

It was a great movie!

I liked it although its just another movie about kids from low bad families that grow up to be troublemakers, in gangs and drugs and all that. I've seen a lot of movies that portray these kind of children, but this was a little different. It was nice to see that it was based on a true story and that someone actually took time to help these children and try to help change their future. The only part I didn't like was that the woman totally ignored her marriage and her home life and ended up divorced because she put the children first. That part kind of irked DH and I. But overall, what she did was a good thing. If she could reach that one group of children then that was atleast something.

It was OK. I was a bit upset that the babies weren't in the movie longer, only a few minutes at the very end (besides one other point in the movie I won't mention). The kids seemed to enjoy it, although my youngest grew bored near the final 30 minutes of the movie after all of her popcorn and candy was gone. My kids loved the Led Zeppelin song! They sang it for days. We came home and DH found it on the puter and played it for them over and over. lol!

I saw it and only watched the first part of it. I didn't like how the people were portrayed. It wasn't close to realistic at all IMO. The women had on too much make-up, hair curled up perfect, and the young girls acted like girls do in this day and time. lol I have a hard time believing thats how young people acted during a time like that. It just didn't seem right at all. I've seen much better movies.

We watched about 30 minutes of it and that was enough.

I've bought a few things on Ebay by exWay.

I have attended a home fellowship with ex-TWI and they didn't collect money. I have more issues with the fact that no one has thought up a way to spread the word or try to get new people (other than exTWI that finally come along) involved in our group and the manifestations always sound the same, the teachings are all the same as in TWI. It just doesn't feel right or fulfilling to me or my husband. I feel like for the time being we are just existing and doing something to fill in our sundays.

this is how I do my gravy but without the bacon and I use Neese's sausage. ;) I've always heard the milk has to go in slowly and definitely not all at once or else you get one big clump.

Our son will eat anything! but our DD is only 4 and she doesn't eat as well (yet): chicken nuggets ( I keep the frozen chicken bites in the fridge) mac n cheese grilled cheese corn green peas PB & J cut in heart, stars or other fun shapes grape tomatoes, baby carrots to dip in to ranch or 1000 island (kids love to dip) goldfish as far as spaghetti, try sprinkling sugar on it.

Oh yes! That's how we do them. We sprinkle some Montreal steak seasoning on them and they come out perfect everytime and taste great with a salad and baked potato.

If you like beans a good side dish would be pinto beans or black eyed beans. I cook up huge pots of these and freeze about 3-4 bowls each time so we have some to eat on throughout the coming week. It's really convenient.

I have a slow cooker that has only 3 settings...low, high, warm. I wish I had the kind with a larger range of temps. I like to cook a whole chicken in my slow cooker. I will put it in and cover with salt, pepper, onion powder, then mix up some cream of mushroom soup with chicken stock and pour over it so it doesn't dry out. It comes out tender and yummy. Tastes great with rice. I have also put chicken breasts in (frozen works great) and poured campbells cheesy soup mixed with a little chicken stock over the top of the chicken and cooked those on low but they don't take as long. I love using my slow cooker although I don't like the sodium in the soups and so far that's the best thing I've found to pour over stuff to keep it from drying out or sticking to the inside of the pot, besides just using plain water.
